Amazon Company and its Human Resource Management
Amazon as an American company and as a commercial platform sells products online. Headed by Jeff Bezos, Amazon Company expands and operates beyond numerous nations and territories. It adopts exceptional human resource systems and management skills to hire diverse employees with specific sets of skills on customer services, product delivery and logistics, online marketing, and more. As Bezos understands an online business, he amalgamates many minds and talents to unleash the different potentials. Indeed, the different ethnic backgrounds of employees at Amazon permit its leader to impose dynamic human resource management initiatives, policies, procedures, or programs.
Bezos as an Amazon Head always makes certain to thrive in the market. He wants to prosper despite the presence of his competitors, such as eBay, Lazada, Metro Deal, PayPal and more. His personnel work hard to accomplish the company goals and objectives. The feedback program performed by the Amazon Company facilitates the interactions between the company and the clients (Pratap, 2018). For several years, Amazon’s human resource management initiatives, guidelines, and plans operate well amidst the challenges in the market (Brandt, 2011, p. 46). In fact, Jeff Bezos has become the richest person in the world beating Bill Gates. He outsmarts the Microsoft magnate despite the challenges and defeats. In other words, Amazon conforms to the legal and logistic processes, staffing, contracting, termination, compensation, and supervision, employment conditions, and direction (Pratap, 2018). However, Amazon needs some changes. Amazon flounders in terms of openness and ethnic and gender diversity. In terms of gender and ethnic diversity, Amazon is still an under-performer (Pratap, 2018). It needs to support its under-performing workers to perform well. Bezos must, in the end, understand this since he makes his business international.
Indeed, Amazon Company runs beyond market zones. It embraces vivid human resource structures and organizational skills to employ varied workers as it focuses on delivering quality products and services. However, it oftentimes fails to consider employees’ sentiments and ideas, which can be vital to the improvement of customer services, product delivery and logistics, online marketing, and more. If Amazon wants to survive for decades without risking, it needs to change its human resource policies, strategies, and techniques as well.
